The Convention Industry Council Manual, 9th Edition

The
CIC Manual is a valuable tool for industry professionals and is widely
recognized as the most comprehensive resource available for managing the
basic components of a successful meeting. Written by some of the
world's leading meeting, convention and exhibition-planning
professionals, the manual contains detailed information about how to
effectively organize, plan, publicize, manage and budget for group
events of any size.

The 9th Edition has been updated to follow
the CMP International Standards, which were first included on the CMP
exam in 2012. The updated CMP exam as well as the manual is now more
internationally focused. In addition, the CIC Manual and the CIC
International Manual were combined in the 9th Edition. The 9th Edition
is also now organized to follow the 10 domains in the CMP-IS. So now,
for instance, the first chapter is about “Strategic Planning,” which is
the first of the 10 domains. The 9th Edition is being offered in both
print and ebook format. Click here for more information on the update.
